He can't bear to see her treated unfairly; Edith, their housekeeper, said with a grin, "Bella is truly blessed to have such caring in-laws." "I heard that a couple of days ago, Jennifer even stood up for Bella and put the Evert family's daughter in her place,” Louisa added, feeling a wave of emotion. It was clear to her that George and Jennifer saw Bella as their own daughter and went to great lengths to protect her.
With such in-laws, she was confident that Bella would lead a happy life in the future.
"They're coming over tonight. Edith, have you prepared everything | asked for?" Louisa suddenly asked.
George and Jennifer were to visit that evening on Bella's behalf.
Jennifer had arranged to go shopping with Bella to not only buy her things but also to pick out gifts for Kenneth and Louisa.
However, Louisa was unaware of that.
"Madam, everything is ready;' Edith answered, smiling, "The house has been thoroughly cleaned, fresh flowers have been placed in the vases, and there's no shortage of pastries and fruits. We're just waiting for their arrival." "Good, good,’ Louisa glanced at the clock, noting that they had two hours left until the agreed meeting time. She was filled with anticipation.

Do you need my help?" “Martha, I'm not here to steal the spotlight,” Serena said, revealing her true intentions to her, "I'm on vacation and | missed my parents, so | decided to stay here for a few days. After | greet everyone tonight, I'll just go to my room. | don't want to disturb them." "Serena, you're still as stubborn as ever!" Martha exclaimed in frustration. She was disappointed to see that Serena had changed so much ever since she was frightened by an incident with Chasel and Myrna Gellar.
This evening presented a rare opportunity. If she could impress Romeo's parents, becoming the future daughter- in-law of the McMillian family wouldn't be a problem! After all, even if Romeo loved Bella, could he really go against his parent's wishes and marry her directly? "Mr. and Mrs. McMillian have watched you grow up all these years.
They surely feel more affection for you than for Bella." Yet, she was doing nothing on her behalf to grab that golden opportunity! "Martha, didn't you just say in our WhatsApp group that Mr. George and Jennifer have already taken Bella's side twice? They must really like her. | don't want to waste my time or compete anymore. There are plenty of men in the world besides Romeo. Worst case scenario, I'll remain single forever." "But he's the best, the most capable, the most protective, and the most deserving of you!" Martha said passionately, her voice heavy, "Serena, I've watched you grow day by day. I truly can't bear to see you fall from the pedestal of a golden girl to an ordinary citizen.

"Alright, Martha, let's leave it at that. I'm going to my room now: "Serena, Serena.” Martha called after her, frustrated by her nonchalance.
Just as Serena was about to climb the steps to the main building, she heard Martha yelp. Turning back, she saw Bella standing coldly beside Martha, who had fallen to the ground.
